In some examples, the above-described method may be encoded as computer-readable instructions on a computer-readable medium. For example, a computer-readable medium may include one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, may cause the computing device to (1) access a first media data object and a different, second media data object that, when played back, each render temporally sequenced content, (2) compare first temporally sequenced content represented by the first media data object with second temporally sequenced content represented by the second media data object to identify a set of common temporal subsequences between the first media data object and the second media data object, (3) identify a set of edits relative to the set of common temporal subsequences that describe a difference between the temporally sequenced content of the first media data object and the temporally sequenced content of the second media data object, and (4) execute a workflow relating to at least one of the first media data object and the second media data object based on the set of edits.

Features from any of the embodiments described herein may be used in combination with one another in accordance with the general principles described herein. These and other embodiments, features, and advantages will be more fully understood upon reading the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and claims.
